A Tidbit From History

Did you know why pirates and sailors really wore an eyepatch? While we often associate them with battle injuries, a popular theory suggests one of the main reasons was to adapt to darkness. By keeping one eye covered, they could preserve their night vision. When they moved from the brightly lit deck to the dark below-deck areas, they just had to switch the pirate patch to the other eye to see clearly in the dim light instantly.

How to Care for Your Eyepatch

To ensure this leather eye patch serves you for a long time and maintains its appearance, proper care is important. Protect it from prolonged exposure to water and moisture. If it gets wet, let it air dry at room temperature—never on a radiator or in direct sunlight. To maintain the leather's suppleness and protection, you can treat it with a suitable leather conditioner from time to time. Remember, this is a costume accessory. Although the eyepatch is designed for comfort, wearing it over one eye for extended periods can impair your depth perception. Therefore, be extra cautious, for example, when using stairs.
